Ducks at Flyers: Projected starting goalies
John Gibson vs. Carter Hart
Gibson heads into this one with a 10-13-2 record, 2.79 goals against average and .910 save percentage. He is coming off a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Rangers Saturday.
Hart carries a 10-7-3 record, 2.47 GAA and .906 SV% into play, but he is on a personal two-start skid. He allowed three goals on 30 shots in each of his past two outings in Colorado and Minnesota, but the Flyers managed just one goal in each of the outings to give him an undeserved L.

Prediction
Flyers 4, Ducks 2
Moneyline (ML)
The FLYERS (-143) are heavily favored despite the fact the Ducks have dominated this series lately. The Ducks are 12-4 in the past 16 meetings in this series, and 7-1 in the past eight trips to the City of Brotherly Love. However, Anaheim has won just five of its past 18 games overall this season, and the Ducks are 1-5 in the past six on the road. Philly has won four of the past five overall, and is 7-2 in the past nine as a home favorite.
New to sports betting? Every $10 wagered for the Flyers to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout would profit $7 if they do so.
Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
PASS. While I think the Flyers end their dismal showing in this series against the Ducks, I’m not confident enough to lay two goals. My lean is certainly to the home side (-1.5, +185), but confidence isn’t high enough to risk it on the puck line.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 5.5 (-121) is 7-2-2 in the past 11 meetings in this series, and 3-0-2 in the past five meetings in Pennsylvania.
